Power out in 8500 block of Avenue

The east side of the 8500 block of Germantown Avenue is without power.

Dan Weiss and Adam Serfass of the Chestnut Hill Cheese Shop said they came in this morning to open and had only limited power. That power has been out since at least 10 a.m. forcing the shop to close. Paperia and the Chestnut Hill Bootery are also closed.

Starbucks and the pretzel shop next door still have power.

PECO workers are busy trying to restore power to the block.
